Alain Robbe-Grillet:
Six Films 1963-1974 (18)
Robbe-Grillet wrote the screenplay for Alain Resnais's Last Year At Marienbad, one of the most famous (and famously baffling) films of the 1960s. In this sumptuously produced collection from the BFI he lays out some of the same themes though in more playfully (and erotic) form. Written before Marienbad but released a year after it in 1963, The Immortal One is like a dry run for that film. Set and shot in a mystical looking Istanbul, it's a dreamlike portrait of a relationship that isn't quite what it seems. Among the other five films are Trans-Europ Express and the lavishly kinky Successive Slidings Into Pleasure.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
